Citrus, aromatic and woody meets citrus, floral and woody. They share two accords and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Black Vetiver, blue is The Poplin Shirt. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepBlack Vetiver brings citrus and aromatic; The Poplin Shirt brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Black Vetiver is moderate and intimate, The Poplin Shirt moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointThe Poplin Shirt first, then Black Vetiver over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
